Privilege escalation on z/OS

Some scripts to quickly escalate on z/OS given certain misconfigurations.
These techniques have been around for a while, I just stringed some code together to have something easy to use in a pentest.

ELV.APF

Description

This tool will list APF authorized libraries by browsing control blocks in memory. For each library it returns the access right of the current user.
Given a library with ALTER/UPDATE access, the script compiles an ASM program into that library and executes it to give the SPECIAL privilege to the current user. the ASM program updates the ACEE block in memory to give temporary SPECIAL privilege, which are made permanent by a regular ALU user SPECIAL a following step. If you want to manually specify the user getting the SPECIAL privilege, replace userid() with any user in line 104

Usage

List APF libraries : ex 'ELV.APF' 'LIST'
Get Special: ex 'ELV.APF' '<APF_LIBRARY>'

ELV.SVC

Description

This tool will go through user defined SVC looking for a "magic" or "auth" SVC.
These are SVC generally used to temporarily grant admin privileges to normal users (in some instances installed by vendors)
ELV.SVC looks for a specific pattern in each user SVC (num > 200) and if finds one dumps the SVC's opcode.

The tool can also be used to call this "magic" SVC to grant SPECIAL privileges to the current user. It provides the possibility to defined a constant in a register before calling the target SVC to bypass some potential checks. If you want to change the TSO command giving special privileges, alter line 342

Register 12 is used as base register. As such, it cannot be used to pass parameters.

Usage

Look for magic SVC on TSO :  
    ex 'ELV.SVC'
Get Special using SVC 233 and placing C1C1C1C1 in register 10: 
    ex 'ELV.SVC' 'NUM=233 10=C1C1C1C1 DSN=TEST.PDS'

Got the idea from Mark Wilson @ich408i

ELV.SELF

The tool lists address spaces currently running on z/OS: started tasks, tso users and jobs
The user can choose an address space to "impersonate" by stealing their ACEE structure.
The tool will perform cross memory copy to steal the privileges of the target and patch the current TSO session
Requirement : APF library with ALTER access OR "magic" SVC (see above)

Register 12 is used as base register. As such, it cannot be used to pass parameters.

Usage

List active address spaces  
TSO> ex 'ELV.SELF' 'LIST'
